What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on finance role in an SME where I can lead accounts and credit-control, improve cash flow using Sage expertise, and collaborate with operational teams in a supportive, growth-oriented environment.

I am a detail-oriented Finance and Accounts Manager with over 10 years' experience supporting SME operations across ledger management, payroll, VAT/PAYE compliance and financial reporting.

I have led end-to-end sales and purchase ledger processes, produced monthly profit & loss reports, managed multi-currency payments and implemented credit-control strategies that improved aged debt tracking and cash flow forecasting. I am proficient in Sage 50, Sage 200 and Sage Payroll, and routinely handle month-end and year-end close processes with high accuracy.

I take a proactive, analytical approach to maintain financial integrity, support operational functions and adapt to evolving accounting trends through continuous development. I am ready to bring disciplined financial stewardship, stakeholder communication and practical problem-solving to a growth-focused company.
